The world lost one of the only direct windows
into the carnage in Homs, Syria, when Rami al-Sayed's video live stream went dark
Tuesday. A citizen journalist, al-Sayed was live streaming the Assad regime's bombardment
of Baba Amr and the brutal after-effects when he was struck
by shrapnel and bled to death soon after, according to news
reports. When outlets including the BBC World, SkyNews, and Al Jazeera
aired his live footage, they highlighted how important this medium has become
to journalism. And when the Syrian army took his life they proved how
vulnerable it is.
